It was discussed as a book about William Chester Minor, who contributed greatly to the Oxford English Dictionary while residing in a psychiatric hospital for killing a man.
My main source for today is a book that you may have heard of. Originally the book was called 'The Professor and the Madman'. But that is now a title that the author Simon Winchester isn't comfortable with, because the word madman is antiquated and offensive in regard to mental illness.
So the name of the book is now 'The Surgeon of Crowthorne' by Simon Winchester. But I think most people remember the book, 'The Professor and the Madman'. It's a good book. Anyways, that's all to say that.
And again, that book that you should read is called 'The Surgeon of Crowthorne' by Simon Winchester.
I'm almost positive it's on my dad's. Yes. Absolutely. And this one was called 'The Professor and the Madman'. So if you see that, steal it from your parents.
